Announcing “Spooking Sidney”: A Writing Challenge

The other day we were lucky enough to have breakfast in New York City with the inestimable (and outrageously foxy) Margee, of SportSquee fame. And it being a meeting up of such brilliant blogging minds, we spent much of the time lamenting how we have felt short of material of late. So while we sat there whining and spinning our wheels about how uninspired we’ve been so far this hockey season, Margee proved how much more brilliant she is than we are by declaring that what the world needs now is a Sidney/Cindy Crosby fanfic challenge. Last time IPB hosted such a thing (remember “Chasing Sidney”, Gentle Reader?), the theme was Sid’s teen-movie coming-of-age story.
